springboot-keycloak-mongodb-testcontainers

The goals of this project are:

Create a Spring Boot application that manages books, called book-service;
Use Keycloak as OpenID Connect Provider;
Test using Testcontainers;
Explore the utilities and annotations that Spring Boot provides when testing applications.

Proof-of-Concepts & Articles

On ivangfr.github.io, I have compiled my Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) and articles. You can easily search for the technology you are interested in by using the filter. Who knows, perhaps I have already implemented a PoC or written an article about what you are looking for.

Application

book-service

Spring Boot Web application that manages books. MongoDB is used as storage, and the application's sensitive endpoints (like create, update and delete books) are secured.

Prerequisites

Start Environment

Open a terminal and, inside springboot-keycloak-mongodb-testcontainers root folder, run the script below

./init-environment.sh

Configure Keycloak

There are two ways: running a script or using Keycloak website

Running Script

In a terminal, make sure you are in springboot-keycloak-mongodb-testcontainers root folder
Run the following script to configure Keycloak for book-service application
```
./init-keycloak.sh
```
This script creates:
- company-services realm;
- book-service client;
- manage_books client role;
- user with username ivan.franchin and password 123 and with the role manage_books assigned.
The book-service client secret (BOOK_SERVICE_CLIENT_SECRET) is shown at the end of the execution. It will be used in the next step
You can check the configuration in Keycloak by accessing http://localhost:8080. The credentials are admin/admin.

Using Keycloak Website

Login

Access http://localhost:8080
Login with the credentials
```
Username: admin
Password: admin
```

Create a new Realm

On the left menu, click the dropdown button that contains Keycloak and then, click Create Realm button
Set company-services to the Realm name field and click Create button

Disable Required Action Verify Profile

On the left menu, click Authentication
Select Required actions tab
Disable Verify Profile

Create a new Client

On the left menu, click Clients
Click Create client button
In General Settings
- Set book-service to Client ID
- Click Next button
In Capability config
- Enable Client authentication toggle switch
- Click Next button
In Login settings tab
- Set http://localhost:9080/* to Valid redirect URIs
- Click Save button
In Credentials tab, you can find the secret generated for book-service
In Roles tab
- Click Create role button
- Set manage_books to Role Name
- Click Save button

Create a new User

On the left menu, click Users
Click Create new user button
Set ivan.franchin to Username field
Click Create
In Credentials tab
- Click Set password button
- Set the value 123 to Password and Password confirmation
- Disable the Temporary field toggle switch
- Click Save button
- Confirm by clicking Save password button
In Role Mappings tab
- Click Assign role button
- Click Filter by realm roles dropdown button and select Filter by clients
- Select [book-service] manage_books name and click Assign button

Running book-service with Gradle

Open a new terminal and navigate to springboot-keycloak-mongodb-testcontainers root folder

Run the following command to start the application

./gradlew book-service:clean book-service:bootRun --args='--server.port=9080'

Running book-service as a Docker Container

In a terminal, navigate to springboot-keycloak-mongodb-testcontainers root folder

Build Docker Image

./docker-build.sh

Environment Variable	Description
`MONGODB_HOST`	Specify host of the `Mongo` database to use (default `localhost`)
`MONGODB_PORT`	Specify port of the `Mongo` database to use (default `27017`)
`KEYCLOAK_HOST`	Specify host of the `Keycloak` to use (default `localhost`)
`KEYCLOAK_PORT`	Specify port of the `Keycloak` to use (default `8080`)

Run book-service docker container, joining it to project Docker network

docker run --rm --name book-service \
  -p 9080:8080 \
  -e MONGODB_HOST=mongodb \
  -e KEYCLOAK_HOST=keycloak \
  --network=springboot-keycloak-mongodb-testcontainers-net \
  ivanfranchin/book-service:1.0.0

Getting Access Token

In a terminal, create an environment variable that contains the Client Secret generated by Keycloak to book-service at Configure Keycloak step
```
BOOK_SERVICE_CLIENT_SECRET=...
```

When running book-service with Gradle

Run the commands below to get an access token for ivan.franchin

ACCESS_TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST \
  "http://localhost:8080/realms/company-services/protocol/openid-connect/token" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "username=ivan.franchin" \
  -d "password=123" \
  -d "grant_type=password" \
  -d "client_secret=$BOOK_SERVICE_CLIENT_SECRET" \
  -d "client_id=book-service" | jq -r .access_token)
echo $ACCESS_TOKEN

When running book-service as a Docker Container

Run the commands below to get an access token for ivan.franchin

ACCESS_TOKEN=$(
  docker run -t --rm -e CLIENT_SECRET=$BOOK_SERVICE_CLIENT_SECRET --network springboot-keycloak-mongodb-testcontainers-net alpine/curl:latest sh -c '
    curl -s -X POST http://keycloak:8080/realms/company-services/protocol/openid-connect/token \
      -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
      -d "username=ivan.franchin" \
      -d "password=123" \
      -d "grant_type=password" \
      -d "client_secret=$CLIENT_SECRET" \
      -d "client_id=book-service"' | jq -r .access_token)
echo $ACCESS_TOKEN

Note: We are running a alpine/curl Docker container and joining it to the project Docker network. By informing "keycloak:8080" host/port we won't have the error complaining about an invalid token due to an invalid token issuer.

In jwt.io, you can decode and verify the JWT access token

Test using cURL

In terminal, call the endpoint GET /api/books
```
curl -i http://localhost:9080/api/books
```
It should return:
```
HTTP/1.1 200
[]
```

Try to call the endpoint POST /api/books, without access token

curl -i -X POST http://localhost:9080/api/books \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"authorName": "Ivan Franchin", "title": "Java 8", "price": 10.5}'

It should return:

HTTP/1.1 401

Get the Access Token as explained on section Getting Access Token

Call the endpoint POST /api/books, now informing the access token

curl -i -X POST http://localhost:9080/api/books \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"authorName": "Ivan Franchin", "title": "Java 8", "price": 10.5}'

It should return something like

HTTP/1.1 201
{"id":"612f4f9438e39e473c4d098b", "authorName":"Ivan Franchin", "title":"Java 8", "price":10.5}

Test using Swagger

Access http://localhost:9080/swagger-ui.html
Click GET /api/books to open it. Then, click Try it out button and, finally, click Execute button.

It will return a http status code 200 and an empty list or a list with some books if you've already added them
Now, let's try to call a secured endpoint without authentication. Click POST /api/books to open it. Then, click Try it out button (you can use the default values) and, finally, click Execute button.

It will return
```
Code: 401
Details: Error: response status is 401
```
Get the Access Token as explained on section Getting Access Token
Copy the token generated and go back to Swagger
Click the Authorize button and paste the access token in the Value field. Then, click Authorize and, to finalize, click Close

Go to POST /api/books, click Try it out and, finally, click Execute button.

It should return something like

HTTP/1.1 201
{
  "id": "612f502f38e39e473c4d098c",
  "authorName": "Ivan Franchin",
  "title": "SpringBoot",
  "price": 10.5
}

Useful Links & Commands

MongoDB

List books

docker exec -it mongodb mongosh bookdb
db.books.find()

Type exit to get out of MongoDB shell

Shutdown

To stop book-service, go to the terminal where the application is running and press Ctrl+C;
To stop the Docker containers started using ./init-environment.sh script, make sure you are in springboot-keycloak-mongodb-testcontainers and run the script below:
```
./shutdown-environment.sh
```

Cleanup

To remove the Docker image created by this project, go to a terminal and, inside springboot-keycloak-mongodb-testcontainers root folder, run the following script

./remove-docker-images.sh

Running Unit and Integration Tests

In a terminal and inside springboot-keycloak-mongodb-testcontainers root folder, run the command below to run unit and integration tests
```
./gradlew book-service:clean book-service:assemble \
  book-service:cleanTest \
  book-service:test \
  book-service:integrationTest
```
Note: During integration tests, Testcontainers will start automatically MongoDB and Keycloak containers before the tests begin and shuts them down when the tests finish.
